Is it worth it?

I really want to put in a car pc because thats a great wow factor and it would be cool to chill and watch movies/play ps2 before school. But other wise what would I use it for (GPS I could do) but I just spent $300 on a Ipod. What do you all think?

Hi Spaceboy,

Most people on this forum use our carputers everyday to make our lives easier (GPS, moblie e-mail, internet access ect) and also have the bonus of MP3, DVD ect but we are enthusiasts and like to have things now that most people can only dream about one day.

Some people only want it for the 'wow factor' and can't be bothered to wait for parts and advice on how to set it up.

Basically if your heart is not in it don't go there!! it will end up costing you!!

I guess I shouldn't have said wow factor. I mean I would probably use it, and I would do it to do it because I love doing this stuff. You know, designing, building, etc. I also hate having to pick up my Ipod and look down at it and things like that. This is somthing I want to do, because it is what I like.

Yea, I want to put a computer in my Pathfinder. I'm getting a P4 1.7 ghz from my friend on the weekend and will use that. I just basically need a screen, and I don't want to spend alot of $ on it, becuase I quit my job and don't plan on getting another one till spring. :-) Any cost effective screen ideas? hehe.

Eww, I hate that because now I sound snobby. I just meant like I think its cool because no one at school has it. I know I have a nice car (and I am lucky) but you should see other peoples cars. That is not why I am doing this though, I just enjoy building things and I think it would be fun.
